We Survived!

The WebFast ended on October 24th and we survived our month of no internet, movies, and texting just fine. Not going to lie, a couple days before that Friday, Cameron started getting the "shakes" and suddenly had the urge to Google something just for the sake of Googling. But he resisted this random temptation and now can Google to his heart's content. Of course, during the WebFast we were unable to give you mid-month updates on our lives here at the Missionary Training Center. Therefore, we have highlighted some of our fun happenings during the past month below!

On September 28th, we decided our car was overdue for a bath since we still had all our "Just Married" decorations. We hosed it down, scrubbed and scrubbed and got it sparkling clean!

Cameron surprised me with breakfast for our 75th anniversary on October 1st! You may be asking yourself, "How can you have a 75th anniversary when you were married in July?" It was our 75-day anniversary! He went out to McDonald's while I was still sleeping and when he woke me up I found a feast waiting for us.

On October 4th, Cameron helped our church put in a new window. It was an all-day event on a rather chilly Saturday but he enjoyed it and they did a great job!

Do we look cold and wet in this picture? That's because we were! On October 10th, we participated in a construction activity in which we assisted in building a platform out in the woods that the class ahead of us would use in the coming weeks for some of their different classes. It rained the entire three and half hours we were out there but, after a bowl of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich, all was right in the world again.

During the middle of October, we went through brief course entitled "Sustainable Integrity." The guys and girls had separate classes during this time so we could talk about issues that related to both of us. One of the guys in the class made up this poster because, after all, Aragorn is the epitome of manliness as he is a king, warrior, friend and mentor.


Saturday the 18th we went to a fall craft show that was held in the Camden County Museum. We loved walking around the museum and seeing all the old artifacts. We found this old bank teller station and Cameron jumped behind it to pose because he said it looked like the one from It's a Wonderful Life!

On Sunday, October 19th we celebrated our three month anniversary by cooking a brunch fit for a king! We made cheesy scrambled eggs, bacon, french toast and juice! It was delicious and I'm pretty sure we skipped dinner! These first three months have certainly flown by!


October 22nd was an exciting day indeed because on that day we mailed the last of our thank-you cards from our wedding! We felt quite accomplished at completing such an immense task.



Eric came over on Tuesday night to show me how to cut Cameron's hair. It was really neat to learn and the best part is that we paid him in sugar cookies! Next time I'll try cutting his hair while Eric watches and we'll see how that goes!




There you go! You are now all up to date with what happened during the month of October. We'll be posting more about what we've learned in some of our classes over the next several days but wanted to start with this fun update first.

Hope you enjoyed!
